Michelle Obama Arrives for State Visit to South Africa Dressed in Duro Olowu

Michelle Obama, the US First Lady, and her daughters and mother arrived in South Africa last night. I have to say I am excited. What a privilege for all those people who have the opportunity to meet her, be inspired by her and are able to absorb some of that Obama magic. Michelle Obama may be a First Lady, but she is also a passionate, intelligent, stylish woman who more than capably - and with a full dose of realism - juggles motherhood, a public profile and a huge job. And she almost never puts a style foot wrong in the full glare of the world's lenses. Who wouldn't be inspired by her? I would give anything to meet her and quiz her on her impeccable style choices.She arrived in Africa last night wearing one of her favourite designers - Duro Olowu - Nigerian, by way of London. She has often worn this label (see below) including on her last visit to the Oprah show, with her husband. Appropriate and pretty, I believe. Well, played Michelle. Now let's see what else you have for us in the style department. I know several SA designers in whose clothing you would look amazing. Are we going to see any? The anticipation is killing me!
